Captain Worf's page

Ensign Hock, call ahead and let them know we will be delayed. Kol, set a course for the rendezvous location, maximum warp.

Make it so.

Worf nods as he listens to each report, visibly sneering when Tork mentions the Ferengi.

Our first task from Starfleet Command is to establish proper diplomatic relations with the Jaradi. The Ferengi have already poisoned relations with the Wadi. It will not do to have the Ferengi best us to the Jaradi. We are to rendezvous with a diplomatic shuttle on the outskirts of their system. The Jaradi are highly distrustful of outsiders and protective of their territory.

Nevertheless Tork, if the Dominion remains active in this area, we must maintain yellow alert in this sector.

Kol, set a course for Jaradi prime, but first have Verelon assist with the probe net. We will not fly blind.

Dismissed.

What do you do? You have already set up some nice impossible problems with the sensor issues, so maybe the technobabble move would work nicely here.

The Captain looks up from a data pad as the bridge crew arrive at the briefing room.

At ease.

He looks around the room. The Federation has limited star chats of this quadrant, primarily those collected by the Defiant's former crew and by a few Ferengi expeditions. He emphasizes the word "Ferengi."

We know little of this area, but I trust you have completed your reports. . He looks at each of you expectantly.

Tork, what is the most tactically significant race in the current sector. Tell us a bit about them.

Kol, what local spatial hazards might threaten the ship?

Gibson, what particular aspect of the mission objective or purpose troubles you?

Verelon, what issue with the Defiant troubles you?

BTW, I added a link to a nifty technobabble generator under the Worf and Starship Command aliases.

Captain's Log Stardate 53001. I have been named the permanent Captain of the USS Defiant, the second ship to hold this designation. With the end of the Dominion War, Starfleet Command is eager to explore the Gamma Quadrant, but is war weary and wary. The Defiant has been assigned to pass through the wormhole and make first contact with the species of the Gamma Quadrant. We will have limited support, but I have hand selected this crew, and am confident in our ability. I am pleased that the engineers were able to retrofit the USS Defiant to include an adequate holodeck, so that I will not need to interrupt my morning maintenance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The camera zooms in on the USS Defiant entering the wormhole. The camera cuts to a scene of Tork in the holodeck, firing rounds down range. We see Verelon moving through the hallways, greeting crewmembers. We see Kol finish her raktajino and move out into the hallway with great purpose. We see Hock at the helm, clearly a bit nervous traversing the wormhole. Finally, the camera sticks with Captain Worf, sitting in his ready room reading reports. He sighs and reaches up to his combadge. This is the captain. Senior Officers report to the briefing room.

He means you. What do you do? It is a small ship, you likely see each other in the halls before reaching the briefing room. How does that interaction play out?
